4 is to delude poor sufferer into the belief
that some " worthiess liniment Will cure rheu-
matism and neuralgia. Honesty IS the best
policy in the manufacture of proprietary ar
ticles as in all other matters, and the fact that
the proprietors of Athlophoros have never
claimed for It even all its merit would war
rant has not a little to do with its wonderful
popularity, and the thousands of grateful
testimonials received by them show that
their policy has been wise as well as right.
Experience has amply demonstrated
that mere outward applications are worth
less. The disease has its seat in the blood,
and any remedy to be successful must deal
with the obstructive acid which poisons
and in1ames it.
Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles
and Joints directly. 1t takes the poison
out of the blood and carries it out of the
system; it invigorates the action of the
muscles and Hmbers the stiffness of the
joints 1t reaches the liver and kidneys,
cleansing them from irritating substances,
and, if followed up after the rheumatic
conditions cease it will restore these organs
to regularity and health.

Cider Vinegar.


The best quality Of all, says the T1iJ-
11'e and Farmer, is the good old fash
iOned cider vinegar. Formerly this
was the only kind used, but, since the
manufacture OF vinegar has become bet
ter known, It can be made so much
cheaper that pure cider vinegar is al
most one of the things of the past.
Though the process of its manufacture
from cider is so simple. yet few seem 10
well understand it. All fruit contains
more or less sugar. and, what appears
most strange, some Of the sOuUest fruits
contain the most sugar, while the sweet
eT ones may contain very little. This
is caused by the sugar being concealed
by the stronger acid Of the fruit. while
in the sweeJeT apple there is scarcely
any acid, and the apple appears to be
really sweeter than It is.
The sugar, when the cider is express
ed from the apple, goes with it. This
sugar is the basis Of the vinegar. This
cider, when Manufactured, should BE-
placed in a clean cask or barrel. One
ferred. This barrel must be put in
warn place. and the bung left out to
allow access of the air 10 form the vine
gar. The air unites with the sugsr OF
the cider, causing a rapid formation Of
q gas, that causes the cider to boil, as
il were, by its escape. Fresh air being
constantly added through the open bung,
Z the process is rapidly continued until all
the sugar is converted into alcohol. a
change now takes place. The alcohol
which is formed is acted upon by the
air and converted into vinegar, more
rapidly, Of course, under proper condi-
tions than unfavcrable ones. II the
barrel is only filed hslffull OF the cider,
and kept at a temperature Of from 50 TO
. IS degrees and air freely admitted, and
the barrel agitated BY rolling, good vim
egsr can be made in q few weeks, but
the flavor will not be so high as Il
would by slower making. When the
barrel or cask is filed very full, and bat
little surface is exposed to the air, the
process goes on very slowly. II the ci-
der is kept, as in a cellar, at low TEN
persture. the process is also much retsr-
ded, frequently taking more than twice
the time to complete the making.
The better the cider the better the
vinegar. That made from green and
unripe fruit will never make 8 superior
article, and in many cases will turn
black and putrefy in the barrel and be
worthless. Freezing is injurious to the
flavor and quality Of cider vinegar.

PROF. J. G. Arthur stated at the last
meeting of the American Pathological
Society, that TO test the contagious
character of pear blight he drew knife
through diseased branches, and then
cut off healthy limbs of differnt sizes
with the knife. In no case did be COM
municate the disease except on a very
tender twig. He drew his knife through
diseased pears, and cut off limbs with
the same results. It is, therefore, not
necessary to disinfect the knife. He
cnts foot below the lowest point where
disease appears. Our rule has been,
when practicable, to cut two or three
feet below. Prof Arthur, in answer to
a question, said he did not see how any
washing with lime and sulphur could
have any effect on the blight, as applied
outside it could not reach the bacteria
within. We have seen bad cases of
pear blight on trees which had been pre-
viously well washed all over with lime
and sulphur

as by Constipation, and there is no

A Dog Sagacity.

At Ceriano in Italy during the recent
earthquake, poor fellow who lived by
hawking milk was buried under the
rnins of his cottage little way out of
town. His large dog, which used TO
drag the milk cart up the mountain
roads, smelt out his master, aBd began
t. scrach away the rubbish until he laid
his masters head bare, which was COW
cred with wounds. Then the dog began
20 lick the wounds but finding that the
bleeding continued, and comprehending
hat he could not dig further, he ran off
and seized by the coat the first individ-
nal be met. who, thinking the dog was
mad, got loose and ran away. But a
second person. guessing what the ami
NAL wanted, followed him, and conse-
quentIy the poor milkmar was released
rom his dangerous position. The
Minister Genala paid him a visit and
found him with his head bound up IN
! der a tent, with the faithful dog lying
aside him.

between General Harding and General
Andrew Jackson, relative to Jackson's
duel with Dickinson is given

Early Gardening.

1t needs to be said again and again
that no advantage can be gained by
planting a garden before the soil is in a
proper condition for the termination of
seeds. 1t is not an unworthy ambition
to desire to be ahead Of all others in the
matter of early Vegetables, to boast the
finest lettuce, peas, radishes and pOta-
toes in the neighborhood, but such ends
will not be attained by rushing seeds in
to the ground as soon as the snow fairly
disappears. Plant the garden when the
soil is yet chill and damp, while the
nights are cold, and the mornings frosty,
and seeds will refuse to throw out their
tender shoots, and either linger weeks
after their appointed time for appearing
or else rot in the ground. Plants started
under such discouraging conditions
rarely thrive afterwards, even under
careful cultivation. They seem never
to gain the vigor of plants that started
under more congental circumstances.
Their hard struggle to push through the
cold, stiff soil apparently so exhausts
their vital energy, that they never re-
cover. It is better to wait in every case
until the soil is thoroughly warm and
measurably dry before disturbing the
/ surface at all. OF course the location
( of the ground and the peculiar nature
| of the soil itself helps to determine the
/ proper time for ploughing. A garden
with a sloping surface, or an open,
/ sandy soil, is not likely to be made lumpy
| by early cultivation, though in other
respects it may be quite unfit for the
best growth OF plants. It is not un-
frequently the case that gardens planted
late in the season overtake and excel
those started very early. In the former
case, the seeds geTminate quickly, and
grow to maturity unchecked IN the
/ warm soil and genial air. There is no
implied excuse here for tardiness or
negligence in the preparation of the
garden, but a caution against shat haste
which, in this instance, makes waste
both of time and material. If there is
no way of forcing plants in hot-beds OF
otherwise, an early garden can be en-
sured only by careful preparation of the
soil, by choosing the most favorable
time for putting in seeds, and afterwar
by frequent hoeing. watering, and gen.
eral culture of the growing plants.

Anthracite Coal.

Anthracite was discovered in Penn
sylvania in 1890, by Nicholas Allen.
This Allsn, according to the stories
and traditions that have been HANDED
,wn about him must have been a kind
of American Rip Van Wrinkle. He had
come down from the Lake Champlain
lumber region and opened an inn on the
summit of the Broad Mountain. For q
time he led wandering existence, hunt.
ing fishing and numbering, while his
vie attended to thirsty travellers. In
one OF his bunting excursions he camped
out at the foot of the Broad Mountain,
at spot where coal vein cropped out,
aud upon lighting a fire. was astonish-
"a the intense heat it threw off. He also
saw that some of the black stone had
become red hot. He dug some of it, and
carried it home, when his wife, more
] practical than himself, pronounced it
coal. They saw coal crop out in abun-
dance, and visions of fortunes that might
be realized out of it flashed through their
minds simultaneously. So, disposing
OF thelr enects, they loaded two large
covered wagons with the coal, and set
ou' for Philadelphia, with the inten tion
Of marketing it there and discovering
is true value. They drove along the
banks of the Schuylkill, sleeping in the
open air at night. At PottstoWn three
Of their horses died, and the coal was
dumped into the river. Wearied and
disheartened, the pair returned to the
old place at the summit of the noun
tain, and shortly afterward Allen laid
bis faithful wife to rest over the coal
vein that proved their ruin, and turn.

after an uneventful career, he enlisted

Suffers FORT AGAIN.

1t is to be hoped that our citizens of
means will not hesitate to subscribe for the
purchase of the Suffers Fort lots, and
thus secure the location here of the home
for the wives and widows of soldiers and
sailors. A subscription paper has been
opened at this office for the purpose, and
ought to be filled promptly. 1t is bit Of
enterprise which will fairly test the public
spirit of our people. To secure the loca-
ton of the institution here, and at the
same time save a landmark of California
history Of the highest historic value, can
be accomplished by the single act of max
ing up the purchase fund for the fort plat.
Failure to do this will argue lack ofspirit.
Our evening contemporary, the Bee,
while approving the RECORD UNIONS SUBJ
scription movement, asks what is to be the
cost of the plat, and what will be
done with it if the home is not
located here? The cost of the land it is
believed will not exceed $500. If the
" Home" is located elsewhere there need
be no immediate purchase. The subscrip-
lions asked for are simply pledges to pay
in case the Home" is given to Sacra-
mento. Sites rendered for such institutions
are never decided until there has been
acceptance of the tender. What is now
needed is pledge to provide the site,
that the Sacramento delegation of the
Relief Corps may present as an earnest of
our intention. But if the Home" is To-
Gated elsewhere, still the plat should be
reclaimed and made presentable, and for
that purpose it might be turned over to
the Pioneers and Native Sons to care for
it. At any rate it should be reclaimed
from private ownership, and SO transformed
as to be no longer a shame, but rather a
feature worthy of exhibition to strangers.

subject in California, though it concerns
one of the most awful of threats to human
happiness. So fearful is the committee of
the Medical Society of the spread of the
disease that they enter their protest
against placing leperous patients in our
smallpox hospitals, as is now done in San
Francisco, and they advise that on the
death of leper the body be cremated, or
that it be buried in chloride of lime, and
that the last stitch of clothing, or clothes
touched by the leper, be destroyed by fire.
That it is not mere nervous alarm thus
disturbing the committee, is shown by the
citation of authorities of the highest order,
and the opinions Of the most eminent
medical men in various parts Of the world,
with whom the committee have communi-
Gated for the purpose Of thoroughly in
forming themselves upon the subject. As
the dozen lepers we now have scattered
about the State are such source of danger
to the people, it would appear that some
immediate steps should be taken for their
sequestration in remote place, or their
removal from the State. To wait until
another Legislature meets, in the hope it
will provide the means for the purpose,
may be delaying at heavy cost. The
counties where the lepers now are might
well act in the matter at once, under the
advice of the State Board of Health, and
trust to the Legislature to reimburse them
for such necessary outlay of money as may
be involved.

bv their companionship with assailants Of

by their companionship with assailants of
republican institutions, forgotten with
what inestimable blessings they are here
favored. By comparison of the liberty they
here enjoy to come and go as they please,
to speak and write and publish as inclina-
ton moves them, with the narrow bounds
of citizenship and human rights under a
European monarch, these malcontents may
be led to pause and ask themselves if they
are not guilty of ingratitude, to say the
least, in consorting with Socialists, Ar
archists and the classes who are forever

1t is noteworthy that the peaceful, con-
tented and best classes of our natura!ized
citizens express no sympathy with those
complained Of by Germany. On the con-
trary, we hear from the greater number
approval of the order of the German Gov
eminent. After all, that power has paid
to the American system high tribute
when it confesses that it cannot with safety
permit entire freedom of speech, as we do.
While it fears the American citizen as an

sends to us, with annoyance only; fear is
not an element in it.
